Free Music Notes for Die for the Government
Free Music Review: Great Stuff
Hit: 5 Stars
I think it's too bad that so many people decided to give a negative review of Anti-Flag because of the way they feel about "our brave men and women in uniform." No matter whether or not you agree with their sentiments, I think it's ridiculous that people scream bloody murder at the band because they make fun of America and the government, especially when you consider that this CD was released in 1996, FIVE YEARS before 9/11. Likewise, I personally think that it is the right for everybody to express their opinion, no matter how distasteful you may find it. After all, isn't that what we're supposedly fighting this war for? To protect freedom and democracy (har har)? If we're supposed to ban this kind of music because we don't like what the artist has to say, doesn't that kind of make the whole war pointless? What good is fighting to defend a right if you can't exercise it in the first place? After all, noone complained when Toby Keith sang "We'll put a boot in your $*#, it's the American way." Personally, if I'd spent the last 8 or 9 months getting shot at in Iraq, I'd probably agree with some of the songs on this CD. Oh well, onto the review.This CD is probably Anti-Flag at their finest, although I haven't really heard much of the new stuff. While they do have a tendancy to take things to extremes and occasionally smack of whiny, know-it-all, "I'm an anarchist, aren't you afraid of me?" teenage snottiness, there is no denying that this is as close as any band has gotten to the Sex Pistols in decades. The songs while musically simplistic are extremely catchy and will have you singing along in no time. Anti-Flag has mastered the use of strategically placed "ooohs" and "ahhhs" in the choruses to accent the actual lyrics. Coupled with scathing critiques of governments in general and conservative Americans in particular, this album devlivers catchy, get-under-your-skin music with intelligent and angry politics. A must for any punk fan! As to the reviewers who say that this band should move to North Korea, I think that maybe you should consider a move there yourselves, since you seem to be the ones so in favor of censorship. Or if you have a time machine handy, try 1930's Italy.
Die for the Government Poster
Anti-Flag tosses up the kind of vintage, early-'80s, So-Cal, melodic punk that B.Y.O., Frontier, Posh Boy, and other labels specialized in, and a ska song is welcome. New Red Archives.Alternative Rock Music CDs
